Boston Bowl Hanover unveils new space

To address a demand for birthday party and corporate function space at Boston Bowl Hanover, owner Phillips Family Hospitality invested and unveiled a $650,000, 3,500-square-foot renovation – expanding the property’s footprint from 17,000 to more than 20,500 square feet.

In2009, Joe Sammartino and his cousin Philip Strazzula, both of Scituate, purchased, revitalized and launched Boston Bowl Hanover, the former Bowladrome, on Route 139 in Hanover.

Since the opening, the bowling and family fun center has been deluged by patrons, birthday parties and coroporate outings.

According to Sammartino, expansion was inevitable.

“The response from the community has been wonderful,” he said. “And with that, need to expand was there right from the beginning.”

To address the call for birthday party and corporate function space, the family-owned business, Phillips Family Hospitality, invested and unveiled a $650,000, 3,500-square-foot renovation – expanding the property’s footprint from 17,000 to more than 20,500 square feet.

The high-energy, recreation and entertainment space – which features candlepin and 10-pin bowling and the Deadwood Café and Brewery for food and drinks – now has an expansive three-room, private function area that accommodates up to 125 guests.

The newly launched space is equipped with smart TVs and free Wi-Fi access.

In addition to function space, the facility’s game center also received a face-lift. The room, which once housed 20 games within a 481-square-foot space, is now home to 27 games in a collective 800-square-foot space.
